In Austin, a home comfort system has to do more than just turn on and off, it needs to keep up with heat, humidity, and different comfort needs throughout the house. This homeowner was ready for a full HVAC upgrade to improve how their system performed day to day. Radiant installed a new heat pump and furnace system, along with updated zoning and airflow improvements to better manage comfort across the home. The goal was not just replacing equipment, but creating a setup that works more smoothly, responds better to temperature changes, and gives the homeowner more control. By the end of the project, the home had a more reliable system built to handle Austin conditions.
Job Overview
- Location: Austin, TX
- Client Type: Residential
- Scope: Full heating and cooling system installation with zoning and airflow updates
- Equipment Installed: Air conditioner, gas furnace, indoor coil, smart thermostat system, zoning controls, UV air purification device, surge protection, filter base
- Additional Work: New zoning board, zone dampers, supply plenum replacement, condenser pad replacement, disconnect box upgrade, firmware updates, system testing and calibration
- Why It Mattered: The homeowner gained better temperature control, improved airflow, and a system designed to perform more consistently across the home.
What We Found
The existing system was ready for replacement, and the homeowner needed a setup that could better handle different areas of the home. Without proper zoning and airflow, some rooms can feel comfortable while others lag behind, especially in Austin homes where heat and sun exposure vary throughout the day.
Upgrading the system also created an opportunity to improve how air moves through the home, how the system responds to thermostat changes, and how easily the homeowner can manage comfort between floors or zones.
The Solution
Radiant installed a new furnace and heat pump system designed to work together for both heating and cooling. The team added a new zoning board, installed dampers, and set up separate thermostat controls to give the homeowner more flexibility across different areas of the home.
Additional upgrades included a new supply plenum, updated filter base, UV air purification device, surge protection, and a new disconnect box outside. The system was carefully set up, charged, and tested to confirm both heating and cooling performance. The team also walked the homeowner through how to use the thermostat and zoning controls so they could get the most out of the new system.

The Results
